Lewis County forecloses on 47 parcels for late taxes

LOWVILLE — Lewis County has foreclosed on 47 tax-delinquent parcels, down from 56 last year.

Twenty-three of the parcels are residential, according to County Treasurer Vicki A. Roy.

Property owners can still redeem their parcels through May 21 to keep them from being included in the county tax auction by paying all taxes and fees and any delinquent taxes from January 2009, plus an extra 10 percent of that amount as an auctioneer's fee and 5 percent of the parcel's full value.

One property no longer on the tax-delinquent list is Adirondack International Speedway. Owner Paul H. Lyndaker paid off nearly $86,000 in back taxes from the past two years before the Feb. 1 deadline.
